Uphill diffusion in multicomponent mixtures.
Molecular diffusion is an omnipresent phenomena that is important in a wide variety of contexts in chemical, physical, and biological processes. In the majority of cases, the diffusion process can be adequately described by Fick's law that postulates a linear relationship between the flux of any species and its own concentration gradient. Most commonly, a component diffuses down the concentrati...
متن کاملDiffusion models of multicomponent mixtures in the lung
In this work, we are interested in two different diffusion models for multicomponent mixtures. We numerically recover experimental results underlining the inadequacy of the usual Fick diffusion model, and the importance of using the Maxwell-Stefan model in various situations. This model nonlinearly couples the mole fractions and the fluxes of each component of the mixture. We then consider a su...
متن کاملUphill diffusion and overshooting in the adsorption of binary mixtures in nanoporous solids
Under certain conditions, during binary mixture adsorption in nanoporous hosts, the concentration of one component may temporarily exceed its equilibrium value. This implies that, in contrast to Fick's Law, molecules must diffuse in the direction of increasing rather than decreasing concentration. Although this phenomenon of 'overshooting' has been observed previously, it is only recently, usin...
متن کاملMinimum Error Fickian Diffusion Coef®cients for Mass Diffusion in Multicomponent Gas Mixtures
Mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures is governed by a coupled system of linear equations for the diffusive mass ̄uxes in terms of thermodynamic driving forces, known as the generalized Stefan±Maxwell equation. In computations of mass diffusion in multicomponent gas mixtures, this coupling between the different components results in considerable computational overhead. Consequently, sim...
متن کاملOn Multicomponent Fluid Mixtures
We consider the flow of the mixture of viscous, heat-conducting, compressible fluids consisting of n different components, each of which has its own density, pressure, and molecular weight but all components having the same velocity and temperature. The mathematical model presented here relies on fundamental principles of continuum mechanics and combustion, where the balance laws, the constitut...
